You have to learn to live before you can actually live.
Nobody is living, if they have not learned.

It has also been suggested that people must also learn to love, thus, learning to love, enables you to learn to live and then live appropriately.

More recent studies have discovered the problem of learning to learn... if you haven't learned, can you then learn to love or even live?

The debate surrounding the learn to live phenomenon is continuous.

Person 1: I really want to go to this party at the weekend
Person 2: Oh, well have you learned to live?
Person 1: Shit, yeah I should probably learn to live before I can go to the party, but it's okay, I have already learned to love
Person 2: Well, don't forget, one must first learn, before one can live
